Christmas was filled with family and food. Breads and sweets galore. All my family stuffing their faces with foods that I once had little self control around. While I was cooking a side dish of risotto I drank my protein shake. The risotto smelled heavenly but I had my husband taste test it. I really didn't have any desire to taste it even though it looked super creamy and smelled heavenly. We got to my families house and the appetizers and desserts were everywhere. Had a bite of cheese ball using a cracker as a spoon and then just ate the cheese off. Walked away and played with the smaller kids. Lunch was ham and pork with small dollops of side dishes. Ate what I could of the meat and veggies. Luckily my family lingers at the table talking so it gave me time to get my little bit of food in. Eventually I had a sugar cookie bite. It was a very small square the size of 2 pieces of gum stacked. (The kind that has a shell coating.) I would am so happy that I got through a high calorie dinner without any difficulties. I'm calling that a victory.
